Our Ceiling Removal & Refinishing Process
We use a safe, efficient system to remove textured ceilings and create smooth, modern finishes:
- Protect and prep: Furniture and floors are covered, and ventilation is sealed
- Wet scrape removal: We soften and scrape texture without dust clouds
- Drywall repair & skim coating: We smooth over imperfections for a flawless finish
- Priming and painting: We use ceiling-specific low-sheen paint for a clean, bright look
Optional upgrades include adding recessed lighting, repainting full interiors, or refreshing trim. See our
Interior Painting service for complete room transformations.
Why Remove Popcorn Ceilings?
- Modernize your home: Popcorn ceilings date homes and reduce buyer appeal
- Increase value: Homes with smooth ceilings sell faster and for more
- Better lighting: Smooth ceilings reflect light better and eliminate shadow traps
- Cleaner, healthier spaces: Textured ceilings trap dust, allergens, and cobwebs
If your home was built before 1985, we recommend testing for asbestos before removal. We’ll help guide that process if needed.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about Countertop Replacement
How much does popcorn ceiling removal cost in Austin?
Most projects range from $2.50 to $4.00 per square foot depending on texture type, ceiling height, and repair needs.
Does popcorn ceiling removal make a mess?
Yes, but that's why using a company like Austin Painting and Cabinets is so important for popcorn ceiling removal. We contain dust, cover everything, and clean up thoroughly.
Can you repaint ceilings after removing texture?
Yes! We prime and paint every ceiling we refinish. You can also choose a color change or add ceiling accent paint.
Is asbestos a concern?
Possibly — especially in homes built before 1985. We help coordinate testing and mitigation if needed before starting removal.
How long does the project take?
Most popcorn ceiling removal takes 3–6 days start to finish, depending on square footage and how much repair or sanding is needed.
Can I live in the home while the popcorn ceiling removal is being done?
It's your home and if you want to stay in while the work is done, we will find a way to make it happen. If you aren't getting the entire house done and there is an area not being done you can sleep in, its even better. But if you are getting the entire house done, popcorn ceiling removal is the type of project we usually do recommend getting out of the house for while it's being done
Clients who have trusted Austin Painting and Cabinets for their popcorn ceiling removal project
Testimonials
Austin painting and cabinets did a great job with my popcorn ceiling removal as well as painting my walls and cabinets. They were clean and efficient. I plan on using them for more projects. I highly recommend them
We had a great experience with Austin Painting and Cabinets. The team was timely, professional, and precise with their painting. We had popcorn ceiling removal and interior painting done and it looks great. Even though English is not the first language for most of the team, they try very hard to communicate exactly what is needed and Tyler was great with clearly communicating what would be done verbally and then would follow up with an email laying everything out. We are happy with the overall results!
From the initial quote to the end result, Tyler and his team were totally professional. His pricing was competitive. He and his guys arrived on-time for the job, and they were extremely detailed in their work. I was worried about the mess from the popcorn ceiling removal but they cleaned up really well after it was all done. The only negative thing I can say is that it looks so good in the rooms they painted, that now I feel like I need to paint the rest of the house! LOL ... But for real, we could not be happier with the results. We will definitely be reaching out, again, in the future for other painting work in our home.
